The Secret to Employee Motivation [Infographic]

According to a study from Gallup, 89% of employers believe that workers leave their company for more money. However, as it turns out, only a mere 12% of people actually do leave for that reason.

Employee motivation isn’t very hard to get right, but, unfortunately, many companies are still stuck in the past.

There is a major disconnect between employees and their employers. What truly motivates employees is the opportunity to grow and make a real difference in the world.

So, why do people really leave?

It often boils down to a lack of intrinsic motivation. While businesses currently do a lot to encourage their employees to chase money, a promotion, or a prize, there isn’t enough being done to foster a true sense of pride and satisfaction.
